Every year during the month of November, CSMC has a fundraiser to help the Catholic Center of Concern of Birmingham, AL. The theology classes of John Carroll collect money to give the poor an opportunity to have a happy holiday season. The classes also compete against each other to win one of three prizes: a pizza, cookie cake, or ice cream party. Although Christmas in Autumn is a friendly competition, its goal is to inspire the giving spirit inside all of us. Jesus Christ always told his followers to give to others and be stewards of others: "But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many" (Mark 10:43-45). After all the money is collect, CSMC matches the amount which means The Catholic Center of Concern receives double the amount collected by the students.
Thank you for raising money to help those less fortunate than us. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas. God bless.
Keep in mind that the amount is divided by the number of students in each class.
